January 2008 Gen 2 Truck Of The Month – Congratulations Dave (Screaming01L) Roshwald ! (NLOC #1994)

This month the Truck of the Month comes from Florida. A beautiful 2001 model in white. Dave is all about Go-Fast!! as you'll see his list of mods later on!! He spends countless hours with his buds in Florida underneath the hood of his Lightning wrenching on it as well as underneath the hoods of other Lightning trucks. It shows as he has one awesome truck that is a beast!! Just a street and strip terror and now he is sporting a 3.4 Whipple supercharger to make his ride even more nasty. Dave is also an asset to the Lightning community as he openly goes out of his way to help his buddies wrench to answering the questions of people on the forums no matter how trivial they are. Read on and learn more about Dave and his Screaming 01L!

1. What sparked your interest in the Ford Lightning?

Simply, I thought the truck looked good.

2. Do you have any interesting stories about previously owned vehicles, before becoming a Lightning owner ?

Well, at the risk of looking dumb....... My first real drag car/race car was a 88GT with a built 347. It used to have a T5 in it. I swapped to a C-4 and added a 200 shot to it. Having never raced at the track before with an auto or nitrous, I was really nervous. I lined up, hit the trans brake, tree starts, I got to launch...... I'm at 7000 rpm all in the rev limiter wondering whats going on. Im in neutral.....

5. Tell us about yourself, your hobbies, business or work, sports, family, etc.

I love racing! I am self employed in the construction industry and have been working on modding cars since I was 15. Now, I am 38. All my work trucks and play trucks are FORD. I am married with one daughter and I'm a workaholic--- LOL

6. How long have you been a user of the NLOC.net, when did you become an NLOC member, and why did you choose to become a member of NLOC ?

Three years or so. I dont remember how I found NLOC, but Google I think. I chose to become a member because I saw it was a great community and everyone was willing to help with advice. I could ask any question and get the answers I needed.

7. What suggestions do you have to make the NLOC.net website easier to use and navigate?

Bring back I trader!!

8. Why did you choose your board user name (screen name) ?

Well, originally it wasn't Screaming01L until I bought a screaming 01 Lightning-- LOL. I forgot my former screen name...... something to do with 03dsg .

9. What are your plans for future changes to your truck ?

What new go fast products are out there I dont know about ?????-- LOL

10. Whom would you like to thank for help\donations\support for putting the truck together ?

Well, JJ@WMS for selling me an already built 10 second legal truck and all of his great advice! Typhoon43 for hours of non-stop wrenching, along with FlaHP. Torrie for his dyno time and tuning as of late and Art Whipple for being a stand up guy to me with this new blower.
